...Yes. Grantos remains drowsy, but he is now awake.

No sir, that won’t be a problem.

Of course, sir. I’ll be in touch with any new developments.

Hey, woman!

You just about finished gossiping over there?

You reporting me to one of your Imperial buddies, or something?

Heh. Nothing gets past you, does it?

The Empire takes a keen interest in talented young Summoners.

Bah! Well, the interest isn’t mutual!

...!

Hey, Hans! Think you could hurry it up a little?

In case you hadn’t realized, we’re kinda in the middle of an emergency here!

If you’re in such a hurry, why didn’t you go ahead without us?

You may not be a match for the great Lugina, but even you amateurs have your uses!

Heh...

Alright, listen up. I’m about to go and slay Grantos,

the Giant God who’s been asleep for hundreds of years.

Being mighty and all that, I’ll be the one doing the heavy work.

That said, I don’t want to be bothered by pesky little minions while I’m at it.

That’s where you come in. you’re gonna draw their attention while I take on the big guy!

You’re going up against that big of a monster all by yourself? How gentlemanly of you...

Sarcastic much?

As if you lot have what it takes to go head to head with a giant like that!

I’d rather take him on myself than have to bail you two out of trouble when it all goes pear-shaped.

You'll see, I’ll show you the meaning of true power.

So we’re all clear? You guys distract the minions while I go and save the world!

And remember, if you screw this up, I’ll gut you with your own swords!

He’s certainly bossy enough to lead a Demon Slayer regiment...

His tone leaves a lot to be desired,

but he seems capable and knowledgeable enough, at least.

Not to mention, he’s gathered more data than I was expecting.

Still, going by my findings,

there’s no way he’ll be able to take on Grantos all by himself.

I suppose I’ll need to lend him a hand.

Of course, he’ll need your help as well.

It’s time to see what you’re really capable of.
